Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye were busy in the yard. Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Lin Xiaomu smiled and shook his head, "He Yuzhu, go ahead. Qiuye and I still have something to do."

Ran Qiuye also nodded, "Yes, we need to tidy up the garden, you go and come back soon."

He Yuzhu smiled and went out with the basket. Walking on the country road, the sun shone through the leaves and sprinkled on the ground. The breeze blew gently, carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants. He felt particularly relaxed and happy.

After walking for a while, He Yuzhu arrived at the market. The market was bustling with people coming and going, and the vendors' shouts were heard one after another. He Yuzhu walked and looked, looking for the seasoning he needed.

"Boss, how much are these spices?" He Yuzhu walked up to a stall selling seasonings and asked.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man who greeted He Yuzhu enthusiastically, "Young man, these are all fresh spices, the price is fair, you can pick whatever you want."

He Yuzhu carefully selected several of the seasonings he often used, asked about the prices, and bought them when he was satisfied. He looked at the seasonings in the basket, full of expectations, thinking about how to use these fresh seasonings to make more delicious dishes.

There were many vegetable stalls in the market, and He Yuzhu couldn't help but buy some fresh vegetables. He thought that these fresh vegetables could be used to make many delicious dishes, and Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye would definitely like them.

After shopping, He Yuzhu walked back contentedly with a full basket. On the way back, his heart was filled with expectations and longings for his future life. Although the days in the courtyard seemed dull, every day was filled with warmth and happiness.

Back at the courtyard, Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye were busy tidying up the garden. When they saw He Yuzhu coming back, they both stopped what they were doing and came over to greet him.

"He Yuzhu, you bought so many things!" Lin Xiaomu looked at the full basket, his eyes flashing with surprise.

"Yeah, I bought some fresh spices and vegetables, thinking we could make a nice dinner," He Yuzhu replied with a smile.

Ran Qiuye took the basket and looked at it carefully. "These vegetables are really fresh. He Yuzhu, you really know how to pick them."

"Thank you for the compliment, Qiuye. Let's work together tonight and make a delicious dinner." He Yuzhu said.

Lin Xiaomu nodded, with an expectant smile on his face, "Okay, I can't wait."

After a busy day, it was finally time to prepare dinner. He Yuzhu, Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye were busy in the kitchen together. The three of them worked well together and were responsible for different parts.

"He Yuzhu, how do you use these seasonings?" Lin Xiaomu asked while cutting vegetables.

"These seasonings can make the dishes taste richer. Let me teach you how to use them." He Yuzhu walked to her and patiently explained the usage of each seasoning.

Lin Xiaomu listened carefully and followed every step. Ran Qiuye helped him, and the cooperation of the three of them filled the kitchen with laughter.

Dinner was finally ready. The table was filled with delicious dishes, including braised fish, stir-fried vegetables, stewed chicken soup, etc. Every dish exuded an enticing aroma.

"He Yuzhu, you are such a genius, these dishes look great." Ran Qiuye exclaimed sincerely.

"Thank you, Qiuye. This is the result of our joint efforts." He Yuzhu responded with a smile.

Lin Xiaomu also tasted the braised fish and showed a satisfied smile on his face, "He Yuzhu, the seasoning you taught me is really effective. This dish tastes better than before."

"That's good, Yuzhu. As long as everyone likes it, I'll be satisfied." He Yuzhu's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and happiness.

At dinner time, everyone sat together, enjoying the delicious dishes and warm atmosphere. Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye kept praising He Yuzhu's cooking skills, and He Yuzhu responded with a smile, and every compliment made him feel extremely satisfied.

After dinner, the three of them sat on a stone bench in the yard, chatting and admiring the stars in the night sky. He Yuzhu thought to himself that such a life was really beautiful and fulfilling.

"He Yuzhu, have you ever thought that we can try to grow some of our own vegetables in the future?" Lin Xiaomu suddenly suggested.

"That's a good idea, Yuzhu. We can grow our own vegetables, not only can we eat healthier fresh vegetables, but we can also experience the fun of planting." He Yuzhu agreed.

Ran Qiuye also nodded, "Yes, I also think this is a good idea. We can work together to make the courtyard more self-sufficient."

In the following days, He Yuzhu, Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye started a new attempt - to open a small vegetable garden in the courtyard. They carefully selected seeds and took good care of them, and every day was full of expectations and hope.

In the morning, the sun shines on the vegetable garden, and the figures of He Yuzhu, Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye working together form a beautiful picture. Each green seedling symbolizes their hope and pursuit for future life.

"He Yuzhu, these seedlings look like they are growing very well. Our efforts have not been in vain." Ran Qiuye squatted on the ground, taking care of each seedling carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Yes, autumn leaves. As long as we take care of them carefully, they will thrive." He Yuzhu helped on the side, his heart full of hope.

Lin Xiaomu was also busy at the side. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile, "When these vegetables grow up, we can eat the vegetables we grow ourselves. That will definitely give us a sense of accomplishment."

"Yes, Yuzhu. Let's work together to make the courtyard house better and better." He Yuzhu held Lin Xiaomu's hand tightly, with a deep love and determination surged in his heart.

As time went by, the vegetables in the garden grew bigger and bigger, and life in the courtyard became more and more colorful. Every day's labor and dedication made them feel extremely fulfilled and satisfied.

On a sunny afternoon, He Yuzhu, Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye sat in the yard, enjoying their rare leisure time. They chatted, shared their experiences and feelings, and their hearts were full of expectations and longings for the future.

"He Yuzhu, Yuzhu, Qiuye, we must work together to build the courtyard house better and make it our permanent home." He Yuzhu said firmly.

The morning sun shines in every corner of the courtyard, awakening every sleeping creature. The flowers and plants in the yard sway gently in the breeze, as if welcoming the arrival of a new day. He Yuzhu woke up early, opened the window, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt refreshed.
